(54) Liquid crystal display


(57) A liquid crystal display includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, a substrate, and a plurality of gate lines, data lines, thin film transistors, pixel electrodes, and storage electrode lines. The gate lines are formed on the substrate. The data lines run crosswise relative to the gate lines above or below the gate lines, and the thin film transistors are connected to the gate lines and the data lines. The pixel electrodes are connected to the thin film transistors, and have a first side formed in parallel with the gate lines and a second side shorter than the first side and adjacent to the first side. The storage electrode lines overlap with the pixel electrodes. Storage electrode signals applied to the storage electrode lines are periodic alternating signals.
